Story: A classic 'journey' story. What I love about the plot is that when they were children, they had a quest already. To bring back their mom. They wanted it so badly. Then, when they lose their bodies, I mean, how much more motivation do you need? The intensity of the goal of returning to their normal bodies is so believable, even though the goal itself is not. It is so well written, that I don't even mind some of the filler episodes, because even then they learn something--like the nature of humanity, or, as I believe, foreshadowing for future events (Al's belief in Psiren's likeness to their mother).
Art: The background and the actual characters themselves are all well done. I really don't know what to say for this, but when I was about 11 or 12, it was what first attracted me to the series.
Sound: Although I'm not a fan of the first opening song, every other following it, I fell in love with. I've even downloaded some. I watched it in English, of course, and the voice-actors did amazing. They really did bring life to their characters. Sounded very realistic and I'm not disappointed. I'm glad some of them have come back to voice some of the characters in 'Brotherhood'
Character: I fell in love with them. The love both Ed and Al share seems so believable (since they still fight like normal siblings) but so intense as well. You feel the tragedy, you immerse yourself within their pain and strife. They really do grow up during the series. The romance between some of the characters is often subtle. Only hinted at in most instances, and although sometimes said out-right, nothing happens between them. I think that was very important since it shows something else they've lost in the path they've chosen.
Enjoyment: If you watch this, you won't be disappointed. You might not like it as much as I do, but it really is a work of art.
